Yeah, the Fairy type is actually a really cool idea. It's just that GF didn't really make much of a variety in terms of type combinations for this type, which is a huge shame since I could see a lot of interesting ideas for many type combinations, such as (but not limited to) the one you've just listed. Hell, they didn't even make Florges a freakin' Fairy/Grass type, despite the whole flower stuff.

I get why florges wasn't fairy/grass so that we had an early on fairy type, just so we could get a feel. But yeah, Fairy/Ice, Fairy/Elec, Fairy/Ground, Fairy/Poison, Fairy/Grass.
The only combos we got were Fairy, Fairy/Flying, Fairy/Rock (That steel weakness tho), Fairy/Steel (Thank god they did this one or I would've been so pissed), Fairy/Psychic (pretty cool imo), Fairy/Normal, and Fairy/Water.

when Dark was first introduced, we got Dark/Flying, Dark/Fire, Dark, Dark/Ice, and Rock/Dark, only one less than fairies.
For steel types, we got Steel/Elec, Steel/Ground, Steel/Flying, and Bug/Steel, (No pure steel types till gen 3 with Registeel) so only four.
So, I suppose it's not all that bad. Hopefully, they use Fairy's full potential soon.

I don't quite think so. Fairy did what it was invented for: to balance out the dragons. It wasn't overwhelming in doing so, as the additions of dark and steel did to Psychic (Basically, psychic went from top dog to kinda shitty) and I do like most fairy types, and I'm glad they retyped some pokemon to make fairies have an actual fair amount of members.

The fairy typing also did a couple other cool things: made poison/steel a tad better attacking-wise, so pokes w/ those STABs had more things to hit, & desperate pokes had more options. Also, it gave us a nice general attacking type, and another common type combo in Fairy/Ghost. But yeah, the only thing is i wish fairy made more sense in what it resists/weak to, but we can say that about all types.

Poke X&Y + SCHOOL EVERYWHERE
seriously October was full of shit, like 5 Band competitions, Halloween party @ school (mandatory), and 4 other clubs/things which take up a lot of my time.
Plus I was totally slacking in class. I almost had a D in English (inb4 "D" joke) which is supposed to be one of my best classes.
So sorry for being gone, but rl is rl :/
